I. RIGHT TO USE THE SERVICES AND LICENSES

The Services and its contents are licensed, not sold, and concluded for an indefinite period of time, unless otherwise provided in the FatBytes Gaming Offer. You agree that you have no right or title in/to any content that appears in the Services, including but not limited to, the Virtual Items and/or Virtual Currency appearing in/or originating from the Services, whether earned and/or purchased in the Services, from FatBytes Gaming or third-parties.

 

Subject to the present GTC, FatBytes Gaming hereby grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, limited right and license to use the Services for your personal and non-commercial use. The rights granted to you are subject to your compliance with the present GTC.

 

Except as previously set forth, you do not receive any other license. FatBytes Gaming retains all right, title and interest in and to the Services, including but not limited to, all copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, trade names, proprietary rights, patents, titles, computer codes, audio-visual effects, themes, characters, character names, stories, dialog, settings, artwork, sound effects, musical works, gameplay recordings made using the Services, moral rights, whether registered or not, and all applications thereof. Unless expressly authorized by law, the Services may not be copied, reproduced or distributed in any manner or medium, in whole or in part, without FatBytes Gaming’s prior written consent. FatBytes Gaming reserves all rights not expressly granted to you by the present GTC.

 

II. PURCHASES IN THE SERVICES

FatBytes Gaming’s Services include in-game Virtual Currency such as coins, cash, and/or diamonds (hereunder named “Virtual Currency”), that can be purchased with “real world” money and in turn used to purchase in-game Virtual Items (hereunder named "Virtual Items"). Virtual Items and/or Virtual Currency are licensed to you on a limited, personal, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable basis and are intended solely for non-commercial use.

 

Virtual Items and/or Virtual Currency do not have an equivalent value in “real world” money and are not a substitute for “real world” money. Neither FatBytes Gaming nor any other person or entity has any obligation to exchange Virtual Items and/or Virtual Currency for anything of value. FatBytes Gaming is not liable for hacking or loss of your Virtual Items and/or Virtual Currency. In no way can Virtual Items and/or Virtual Currency be exchanged with us or anyone else for money, goods, other items, or services of monetary value of the “real world”.

 

The transfer of Virtual Items and/or Virtual Currency is strictly prohibited, meaning that you may not buy or sell Virtual Items and/or Virtual Currency for items of value outside the Services.

 

Price and availability of Virtual Items and/or Virtual Currency are subject to change without notice.

 

The prices are indicated on the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store (hereunder named together “Stores”), and in the order confirmation sent to you for the relevant order apply. Prices include possible statutory value-added-tax. Payments are processed through the relevant Stores and the Stores terms of use and of payment’ apply. Where there is a contradiction between the Stores’ GTC and the present GTC, the Stores’ terms of use and payment shall have priority.

 

The user is liable to FatBytes Gaming for expenses attributable to him/her, incurred in the event of a payment incident or opposition to a withdrawal notice, particularly if his/her funds are insufficient on his/her account. The corresponding costs are borne by the user (e.g. fees imposed by the payment provider), as well as the resulting processing fee of € 5.00 (five euro). FatBytes Gaming is entitled to recover these amounts as well as the initial fees by taking the total from the user's account. The user has the right to prove that no damage has been caused or that the amount of damage is lower.

 

In case of late payment, FatBytes Gaming has the right to suspend the Services and block the user account, notwithstanding the continued payment obligation of the user. FatBytes Gaming is however entitled to charge a handling fee of € 5.00 (five euro) to unblock the account upon full settlement. The user has the possibility to prove that no damage has been caused or that the amount of damage is lower. Furthermore, FatBytes Gaming is entitled to charge the statutory interest on arrears of 5% (five percent) above the relevant valid base interest rate.

 

Please note that FatBytes Gaming does not handle and is not responsible for handling transactions acquiring Virtual Items and/or Virtual Currency. All Virtual Items and/or Virtual Currency transactions are handled by third-party e-commerce payment providers. By purchasing Virtual Items and/or Virtual Currency in the Services, you are bound by and agree with “terms of use” of the third-party payment providers.

 

FatBytes Gaming may manage, control, modify or eliminate Virtual Items and /or Virtual Currency at any time, with or without notice.

 

By law, all purchases and redemptions of Virtual Items and/or Virtual Currency made through the Services are final and non-refundable. You acknowledge and consent that the provision of Virtual Items and/or Virtual Currency for use in the Services is a process that commences immediately upon purchase and that you forfeit your right of cancelation once the process has commenced.

 

Accordingly, you agree that FatBytes Gaming is not required to provide a refund for Virtual Items and/or Virtual Currency for any reason. You further acknowledge that you will not receive money or other compensation for unused Virtual Items and/or Virtual Currency, regardless of whether your loss of license under the present GTC was voluntary or involuntary.

 

IF YOU ASK FOR YOUR PERSONAL DATA TO BE DELETED AS DESCRIBED IN FATBYTES GAMING’S “PRIVACY POLICY”, YOU WILL PERMANENTLY FORFEIT ALL OF YOUR VIRTUAL ITEMS AND/OR VIRTUAL CURRENCY WITHOUT THE RIGHT TO REFUND, AS FATBYTES GAMING WILL NO LONGER BE ABLE TO ASSOCIATE SUCH VIRTUAL ITEMS AND/OR VIRTUAL CURRENCY WITH YOU.
